True, not everyone believed that nature and an accident were the culprit of these fires. One of them was the Plenipotentiary Representative of the Siberian Federal District Nikolai Rogozhkin. Commenting on the critical situation in Siberia, he suggested that the fires could have arisen as a result of the actions of a certain sabotage group, which, according to the official, could consist of well-trained and trained oppositionists. Their main goal was to destabilize the situation in the Siberian region.
At the same time, Nikolai Rogozhkin, the plenipotentiary whose biography is presented in this article, made several other bright and ambiguous statements.
